SE Mosiac Radar Loop 31/August2010

Strong east winds looks to have pushed birds way out west over the night. Birds are out over the Gulf as of morning. Are these birds attempting a Gulf crossing today? It will be interesting to see if any afternoon reports come in from the west coast today. If the birds head back they will be tired and will be rushing the coast. We will post more in a bit.
